Just a reminder that the Hey Chick and the Hey Birthday Chick Bundles

are coming on Tuesday, February 2.

The Birthday Chick Dies have extra dies in addition to the image dies- a fence, a birthday banner/streamer, Happy Birthday words, a chick, a sack of chicken feed, and even a little bow tie for the fashionable rooster!

Hey Birthday Chick Bundle is $43.00

If you still have the Hey Chick stamp set, from Sale-a-bration 2017, you can get the “Chick Dies” to go with it on February 2!!! And if you missed getting the 2017 Hey Chick, it will be offered again on Tuesday, February 2nd! You can purchase the Hey Chick stamp set and the Chick Dies separately or Bundled at 10% off price.

Hey Chick Bundle is $44.00.

Just look at those cute dies in the Chick Dies that coordinate with the Hey Chick stamp set- the chicken coop, the chicken wire, the corn stalk with corn, the eggs, the sign, plus all the image die cuts, too!!

I think the Stampin’ UP! Paper Pumpkin Team hit it out of the park with the adorable January 2021 Paper Pumpkin “Sending Hearts.”

I made this alternate card with some of the contents.

I used the Stampin’ UP! Well Said stamp set on the front along with the LOVE die cut tin the kit hat resembles the dies in the Always Dies. I die cut the “Sending” and “Heartfelt” with the Messages Dies. I trimmed them down by cutting on one end and then moving the die to cut out the other end. I also cut out the fun mailbox rectangle provided in the kit with the Stitched Rectangle Dies and added a Gold Foil Border. I scattered some a Black Glitter Paper hearts cut out with the Be Mine Stitched Dies. This kit was just so cute!!!

I love how the font in the stamp set in the January 2021 kit matches the Always Dies! And the January Kit had a snail in it to coordinate with the Snail Mail Suite! Great job, Stampin’ UP!

NOW…

Oh my, I got to play with my Stampin’ UP! Welcoming Window Bundle over the weekend!

Look at the detailed embossing on the Stampin’ UP! Window Flower Box Dies…so pretty! I used my Messages Dies to cut out the sentiment. My curtains came from a piece of retired Plaid Tidings DSP. The little scallop edge comes from a die in the Stampin’ UP! Budding Blooms Dies.

This card features mainly the Stampin’ UP! Window Flower Box Dies…

but there are so many adorable stamps in the Welcoming Windows Stamp Set that are cut out with the bundled die set. I am so excited to make more cards with this fantastic bundle!

Look at the cute little corners on the inside…

Happy Friday, friends! I have a monochromatic card for you today using the new Stampin’ UP! Garden Wishes Bundle and the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper.

You know I love it when dies are a focal point on a card, and this one is a neat one. The Stampin’ UP! Dandy Wishes Dies are awesome- they cut out stamped images but also these striking dandelions silhouettes. I even added in a little dragonfly punched out with the Stampin’ UP! Dragonfly Punch and some pearls to jazz it up:)

The Stampin’ UP! Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper is a darker paletted 6″ x 6″ DSP with Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow with some brighter colors of Misty Moonlight, Calypso Coral, and Bumblebee interspersed with white and black. It has a autumn feel to me. I cut my DSP in half to 3″ wide so you can get two cards out of one sheet:)
